PRO features require the separately distributed premium plugin. Availability of individual controls may depend on the installed PRO version.

Expand Your Welcome Book with Add-ons

Need more than basic guest information? The Host Domination ecosystem supports optional, separately distributed add-ons that can extend the Welcome Book for specialized hospitality workflows.

Examples include Local Guide features for property recommendations and local points of interest, and Services & Upsell features for presenting optional services to guests. These extensions are not included in the Free plugin and may require PRO or a separate license.

A Digital Welcome Book on Your Own WordPress Website

Host Domination Welcome Book runs on your WordPress installation. Create a guest-facing Welcome Book at the default /welcome/ URL, or embed it in an existing WordPress page with a shortcode.

Use:

[hd_welcome_book]

The alternative shortcode [host_domination_welcome_book] is also supported.

Why use a digital guest book? Guests can refer back to arrival details and property instructions whenever needed, while hosts can update information from WordPress without reprinting physical documents.

Create a professional digital Welcome Book for your vacation rental, Airbnb property, B&B, hotel or holiday home – and expand it as your business grows.

Add-on Store External Service

The Add-on Store includes an optional manual “Refresh Add-on Store” action. Only when an administrator explicitly clicks that button. The response contains add-on names, descriptions, prices and product links. The Free plugin does not download, install or execute plugin code from that service and does not send guest data.
